Why it's Wildland
4.9Solva’s harbour has served local boat owners and visitors for generations. Today, the community-run Harbour Society maintains its quays and facilities.
A working harbour with a strong community story, set in the distinctive coastal village of Solva. The appeal is the waterside setting and maritime character rather than a developed programme of visitor activities.

The Solva Boat Owners Association was formed in February 1969, following an idea dating to 1965. It purchased Trinity Quay in 1986 and Sand Quay in 2007, and took on harbour-management arrangements in 1988. The organisation became the Solva Harbour Society Limited, a Community Benefit Society, on 29 April 2020.
Hidden details
A community-managed harbour — The Society’s history records successive steps in local stewardship: the purchase of Trinity Quay, then Sand Quay, and later the change to a Community Benefit Society.
